Heck, I'm in. Fer sure. . . Mitenbuler, wanna go with me?

Did a job for a friend recently, and they just did their final walk-through yesterday. He discovered the front exterior light fixtures didn't have any bulb sockets; they were just *decorative*. I just looked for big-ticket items and never even checked lights. Regardless, anybody have a clue why anyone would install such?

OK

Set your phone's text tone to a doorbell. It's a hoot to watch the realtors keep going to the front door during an inspection.

Horrible state to live in, but Chicago is wonderful. . .

What is this lever for on the left side of this gas-log fireplace? I don't think it's a damper control, but maybe an intake-air control???

I rarely recommend further review, unless drywall needs to be removed or some such. I describe concisely what's wrong, why it's wrong, and what should be done about it. With that approach, I usually get by with less than 10 pictures per report, and often just two or three. Very often they're roof pictures where I can't show my client the defect.

Thanks, Les. That means a lot to me.

Yeah. But getting out of a clawfoot tub is inherently dangerous, and caution is naturally used when stepping out of one. Stepping out of a regular bathtub, you don't expect the drop-off. Awkward as all heck at best.
